navspook, Sorry to hear about the fall of your KT, larger scale does have benifits as well as drawbacks.....$$$$ and lots of it. I am aware of the commander figures.
I recently found that the 1/6 scale Toy Kettenkrad has the track system that is about the same as the smaller German half Tracks IE the sdkfz250/3. so using that system to scratch build a 1/8 copy of would work out just about right.
Im Hooked and there is no Cure LOL.
I loved my 1/16 tanks but one day I was adding up what it cost to build my latest Tiger 1, Tamiya Kit, All the Wecohe Upgrades as well as the other goodies, I had as much invested in that as the rolling chassis for the R/C Armory KT, Enough said.........Ordered one.
I plan on a Build thread once here as I see not to much in the way of R/C Armory's Kits and tanks here. I believe yours is the only other one I have seen here. By the way, Excellent Job on the winter white wash you did. Several of those pictures are on my Screen saver now.
Have a great one Navspook.
Trevor.
